I'm a psycho-nut for BMX pedals. Only one of my bikes has clipless (Speedplay Frogs), the others have BMX. I feel I have the same control and power with both, but feel more comfortable with the BMX over all. (Mind you, I am a masher. Always have been, and always will be.) I love being able to customize the grip surface with the set screws. I love replacing screws as they fall out. I love the huge platform that lets me wear any shoe, and grips beautifully.
Try anything that appeals to you. I would never have imagined I'd love BMX pedals so much. I was a devout cage user for 3 decades, then was a devout Frog user, now am equally in love with BMX. Experiment!
ETA: as a masher, I tend to pedal at a slower cadence and don't "pull up" on the pedals. Being attached to the pedals isn't as important to me as just having a good non-slip connection. Speedplay Frogs and BMX meet that need nicely, but I don't have a need to be attached. (If you want to get into the masher vs. spinner debate, do a search on slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers.)
